Information Hon Thom Islet

Hon
Thom (Pineapple Islet) is one of the many harbours of Phu
Quoc Island, which lies in the Gulf of Thailand, 45km from
Ha Tien and 15km south of the coast of Cambodia.

However, compared to other harbours where international
and domestic ships anchor, the small port city is arguably
the most lively and crowded with some unique characters.

With an area of 400ha, Hon Thom has sloping seashore, white
sand, coral reefs and about 110 fishermen. The primitive
view of huge rocks, hills could easily worry tourists on
their way to the islet.

However, as the boat draws nearer, the view takes a completely
different turn. There is a crowded fishing village with
different kinds of fishing boats. The area is said to be
a good fishing place with a large number of shrimps and
fishes. One can also see how a good fisherman dive and catch
small groupers with bare hands. Next to the fishing boats
are small rafts supplying marine products ranging from crabs
to cuttlefishes to visitors.
